A valid record for the concession must be in the Director's possession and, when fairly read, on its face constitute evidence of a claim for right of abode; ID 457 entries that include a parent's Hong Kong identity card number can constitute such a record when viewed in context; deficient departmental practices or suggested standard answers do not by themselves estop the Director—estoppel requires wrongful pressure preventing recording.
